Resistant • Jonathan Kent

viii. Into Oblivion

Tiana was looking over at the corner and she noted something on the desk as she was walking over to it. There was a box sitting there and she was tilting her head at the sight of the red and yellow colors of the box quickly, before she was opening it.

Tiana saw that it was a thick silver ring engraved with lightning bolts all around it and another watch, which had a note underneath it. Tiana took the slip of paper out from under it and she was looking at the words, before she felt tears prickling at her eyes again.

"It is definitely her watch, an automatic alert system and she gave it to me earlier in the year. I want it to be fixed up, with the words engraved on it."

The words were definitely written in Jon's sloppy handwriting and she was looking at the watch, before she was carefully picking it up and flipping it over.

"You're strong, remember that."

Tiana nearly broke down crying all over again and then, she was quickly lowering her head, before she closed her eyes.

Then she was wiping her eyes and very carefully, she was putting the note and the watch back. Tiana closed the box and then quickly, she was walking out of the room and closing the door behind her.

"Jon. We have parents calling us, not wanting you anywhere near their kids."

"Can't blame them for that." Cam noted as Clark glared at him. "What? Thanks to that particularly idiotic human of a teenage boy, I'm out of a job."

"You're a millionaire." Tiana said and she was putting her earbuds in, as she walked over to the fridge. "It won't hurt you as badly as it will hurt me, since everybody knows that I live in the same house as said teenager." She said and she was slamming the fridge door.

"Okay, neither of you two are being particularly helpful right now--"

"If you wanted me to be helpful right now for the situation at hand, Clark?" He looked at Tiana, who was shaking her head. "I'm sorry, but you have got the wrong fucking speedster." She said as she looked at them.

"See you at school later, Jordan." She said bluntly and then, she was very quickly just disappearing out of the house and the door banged shut behind her.

"You know... I actually thought rather stupidly on my part, that you were just simply using your skills that you quickly worked your ass off for, right back on the football field." Cameron said and then quickly, Jon was looking over at him. "She thought that she could trust you. But Jonathan Kent, you broke her heart all over again. I should have honestly known better than to trust you... Again."

"Would you believe me if I said, that I was about to explain to Tiana that I had broken up with Candice?" Jon asked and then Cameron was looking at him, just before he was blinking.

"I can hear your heartbeat, Jonathan. I do believe you about breaking up with Candice and I do believe you about explaining it to Tiana. But what I still can't understand, is why you would throw your life away over drugs." He said and Jon scoffed.

"I felt inferior on multiple levels, Cam. To everybody. To you, to Dad, Jordan, Tiana and... I mean, even Mom." Jon shook his head. "I never meant to hurt her." He said and Cameron sighed.
